This is Don's 3rd crash landing he had to make one emergency landing on the beach
in the 1990s and another about 9 or 10 years ago.
on July 4, 2011 Don Bonner crashed near Walker Island in Perdido Pass
but he and his passenger escaped serious injury.
the plane began experiencing engine trouble so he started
flying toward a U.S. Navy landing strip in Lillian.
Then all of a sudden he started losing power he tried to get
it to Wolf Field, but halfway across the bay, the plane just totally quit.
Bonner said that when he realized he was not going to make it,
he looked for a spot with people close by who could help if the plane flipped over.
He chose Walker Island, the smallest of 3 strips of land in Perdido Pass near Orange Beach.
The plane came down in about a foot of water on the south side of Walker Island.
Tourists made it to the overturned plane quickly, followed about a minute later
by the Alabama Marine Police.
